Family Entertainment and Copyright Act of 2005
Wired:
Legislation that would allow people to automatically skip over objectionable content in movies viewed at home sailed through a key House subcommittee on Thursday and looks to be on the fast track.
The House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Courts, the Internet and Intellectual Property passed S167/HR357, known as the Family Entertainment and Copyright Act of 2005, with little debate. The full Senate passed its identical bill on a voice vote on Feb. 1.
The basic argument against this bill by the film industry is that viewers are altering their copyrighted work by skipping over portions of it, which is complete nonsense. It’s no different than skipping a chapter in a book, or fast forwarding the scene on your old VCR… just a bit more high tech.
